Product Description
In The Ultimate Cyberpunk, editor Pat Cadigan takes readers through the evolution of this influential science fiction genre, from the groundbreaking forefathers of the field such as Alfred Bester and Philip K. Dick, to the founding members of the cyberpunk movement, such as William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, and forward through such innovators as Lewis Shiner and Rudy Rucker.
In this special collection, Cadigan presents the cyberpunk world, in which reality and virtual reality intersect. The growing impact of the Internet on our sense of community, the seduction of a world behind the screen, and the inherent dangers of a society in which any information can be hacked, stolen, and sold are some of the topics explored by our best cyberpunk writers.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Cyberpunk (Paperback)
Cadigan herself bemoans the "Ultimate" title of this book. But the stories inside are amazingly fresh, especially considering the copyright dates on some of them. I found it interesting to first, read the stories, and then turn to the beginning of the book to check the copyright date. The roots of the Cyberpunk literary movement are all here! I highly recommend it to true cyberfans. [webmail]
